Muscle Contraction

Animations that will help develop and consolidate your understanding of how action potentials initiate muscle contraction and the events associated with the contraction in the sarcomeres.

1. Function of the neuromuscular junction
2. Action Potentials and Muscle Contraction.
3. Breakdown of ATP and cross-bridge movement during muscle contraction.
4. Myofilament Contraction
5. Sarcomere Contraction
